Former Broncos executive John Beake, who helped land John Elway, dies at 87
2 minute read Yesterday at 8:22 PM CDTENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — John Beake, who was instrumental in the trade for John Elway and helped guide the Denver Broncos to back-to-back Super Bowl titles in the late 1990s, has died at age 87, the team said Saturday.
The team said the family confirmed Beake's death. No cause was given.
“The Broncos are saddened by the passing of longtime executive John Beake, who made an enduring impact on our organization during more than two decades with the team,” the organization said in a statement. “John helped guide the Broncos to five Super Bowl appearances, including back-to-back world championships and was a respected leader throughout one of the most successful eras in franchise history.”
Beake joined the team in 1979, holding multiple personnel roles before becoming general manager in 1983, when he helped engineer the trade with the Baltimore Colts for Elway, who became a Hall of Famer and won Super Bowls both as a quarterback following the 1997 and ‘98 seasons and again after the 2015 season as the team’s GM.

Duff’s incredible catch and a strong 2nd half lift Rutgers over Maryland 37-30
4 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 4:31 PM CDTCOLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — KJ Duff caught two touchdown passes — including one with a spectacular one-handed grab — and Rutgers held on for a 37-30 victory over Maryland on Saturday.
The Terrapins (2-5, 0-4 Big Ten) have lost five in a row, and they blew a 10-point halftime lead in this matchup between embattled coaches Mike Locksley of Maryland and Greg Schiano of the Scarlet Knights. Duff caught nine passes for 113 yards, and Clay Thevenin scored both a rushing touchdown and a receiving one as Rutgers (2-4, 1-2) rallied in the final two quarters.
“We're down 10 at the half, on the road in the Big Ten. That's hard stuff," Schiano said. "Our guys just kept battling.”
Antwan Raymond’s 2-yard TD run gave the Scarlet Knights a 37-23 lead with 4:03 left in the fourth quarter. Malik Washington’s second touchdown pass of the game, a 10-yarder to DeJuan Williams, brought Maryland back within seven with 2:17 to play.
